Queen of the Jungle Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo talks about life since leaving I’m A Celebrity

The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! winner has revealed what life has been like since leaving the jungle.

Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo appeared on This Morning today to discuss her time on the ITV series and how being crowned champion has already changed her life.

Speaking to hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield, the Made In Chelsea star admitted to feeling overwhelmed since exiting camp. She said: “It’s really overwhelming.

“You become a bit institutionalised in there because as it went on there was less and less of us, so you really don’t engage with anyone apart from your campmates.

“And then going over that bridge I was a bit taken aback. I’m am normally so talkative and when it all happened I didn’t really have anything to say.”

Toff continued to describe her disbelief when she saw crowds of people waiting for her at the airport when she landed back in the UK.

“It was amazing, fans and the press as well” she said.

“I’ve never had that before, of course I’ve been in Made In Chelsea, but this was just a different level.

“And when I went through arrivals the kindness of people to come to the airport just to say hi to me.”

Toff also spoke about how she would now like to use her platform to get more people into politics.

She said: “I would like to, I’ve spoken about politics a lot over the years and my main issue that I championed was, just general engagement in politics.

“Challenge me on Twitter, if you don’t agree with me great, but tell me why you don’t agree with me.

“I think sometimes with politics, young people have become disillusioned with it because they can’t relate to it, there’s a lot of snobbery and people are a lot older.

“I think maybe people shouldn’t – some people do maybe laugh at my interest in politics a tiny bit – because reality television doesn’t tend to go hand in hand, and maybe the blonde hair and maybe I got out quite a lot.”

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! will return for a new series in 2018.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! final recapped in GIFs

They all survived the creepy crawlies, camp life and the infamous Bushtucker Trials, but last night it was time to decide which of this year’s I’m A Celebrity finalists would be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle. For those of you who missed the big finale, TVGuide.co.uk has recapped the entire episode for you in GIF form.

So, let’s get started shall we?

Each of the finalists had to take part in one last Bushtucker Trial and first up was Made In Chelsea‘s Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo who took on ‘John Travolting’; a task that involved a whole range of gruesome creatures being dumped on the celebrity whilst she stood in Travolta’s iconic dance pose.

Next up: Iain Lee, who was lucky enough to be allocated the dreaded eating trial. The comedian was treated to a delightful four course meal consisting of turkey testicles, dead scorpions, camel brain and, probably the most stomach-churning of the lot, a pig’s vagina. Oh, and he got to wash all of that down with a smoothie made of blended cockroaches, mealworms, crickets and beach worms. Mmm.

Finally, Jamie Lomas tackled the final trail of the series. Titled ‘Panic Pit’, the star was strapped into a claustrophobic chamber and, of course, he wasn’t alone in there. A terrifying number of snakes were fed into the pit with Jamie, who stayed surprising calm even as one python wrapped itself around his face!

Which left Jamie and Toff in the running to grab the title of King or Queen of the Jungle. After sharing both of the star’s best bits from the 2017 series, it was finally time to announce this year’s champion.

So that concludes ITV’s I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! for another year and what a series it’s been! If you want to find more GIFs from the episode, or from any of your other favourite TV shows, simply head over to the chat feature on our TVGuide.co.uk app.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!’s Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo is “lowest paid star in the jungle” despite being favourite to win

The Made In Chelsea star has been a hit with I’m A Celebrity fans, and is currently the bookies favourite to win the title of Queen of the Jungle. She may be killing it on the show now, but it turns out Toff may have been ITV’s cheapest booking.

According to The Sun, the reality star is being paid £13,000 for her appearance on the series; a small sum compared to the likes of Amir Khan, who is allegedly receiving a mouth-watering £300,000.

A source told the publication: “Georgia has been gold from the start this series but ITV bosses have got her for a bargain price.

“She’s way out in front in terms of the bookies’ tip for a winner, and looks set to win if she keeps things up.”

The insider added: “She jumped at the chance to go into the jungle and producers didn’t need to throw much money at her. Compare her to Amir’s feed and they’ve got her for a snip.”

Rebekah Vardy opens up about suicidal past on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

Warning: This article contains topic of suicide which some readers may find distressing

Rebekah Vardy has confessed she attempted to take her own life at the young age of 14.

The I’m A Celebrity contestant opened up about her difficult teenage years during last night’s episode, revealing the pressures of life once drove her to contemplate suicide.

Speaking to camp mate Iain Lee, she admitted: “You draw from experience don’t you, I tried it when I was younger this when I was 14. Because when I was that age it was something that was pushed under the carpet and it had such a bad effect on me and I made such horrific decisions in life and I got to a point after I had my second child where it just hit me and it does because you can’t run from it forever and that is what I was doing.

“I had really bad post natal depression with my second, it’s like Pandora’s box opens and when it opens you have to deal with it.”

After being diagnosed with post-natal depression, Rebekah received counselling as well as cognitive behavioural therapy.

She explained: “I had CBT therapy which changes your brain’s thought process, I had counselling and I was on anti-depressants for a while and then all of a sudden things just started getting better because you learn to deal with things and you need to talk and talk helps you overcome so many things. It is so different now.”

Rebekah’s comments follow a recent post on Instagram in which she confessed she was physically and sexually abused as a teenager.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues tonight (Wednesday) at 9pm on ITV.

Gemma Collins set to make explosive return to I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!

She remains one of the most legendary contestants to ever set foot in the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! jungle, and now there’s speculation Gemma Collins will make a shock comeback to the ITV show.

It may have been short-lived, but the TOWIE star’s appearance on I’m A Celeb will always go down as one of the greatest in history. Her sky dive meltdown, food-related tantrums and her decision to quit after just 72 hours in the outback made her a total internet sensation, with social media users everywhere turning Gemma into hilarious memes and YouTube mash-ups.

And rumour has it that we may be blessed with more Jungle GC this year, and we could not be more delighted about it.

A source informed The Sun Online: “Gemma has been backed by Dec, he thought she was really good [last time she was on] and he told Gemma she would be great if she came back to the show.

“She’s riding on the crest of a wave right now – she’s doing well on TOWIE, she massive on social media after all the memes and and everyone is a bit obsessed with her.

“She in talks to sign up but it’s early days. Nothing is set in stone yet.

“Producers know there’s a bit of heat around her right now so she would be great on the show. Gemma really wants a chance to prove herself and set the record straight.”

Gemma has already confessed her desire to return to Aus for a second time. During a recent interview on Loose Women, Gemma was asked by the panel whether she might make a comeback. She admitted: “Do you know what, I was meant to go back in the jungle the year after I come out, but it didn’t happen.

“But if it came up again, why not?”

The Only Way Is Essex star continued: “I think people think I’m so confident. They probably look at me and think I don’t doubt myself but actually I do, so when they said I was going into the jungle, I was so scared but because I’ve been there once, I’d sort of know what to do again. I would probably be terrible at the tasks and all of that.”
